RESUMO
Cutaneous metastases from cancer are relatively uncommon in clinical practice but when present may herald the diagnosis of internal malignancy. The most common sources of primary cancer are the breasts, lungs, large bowel, oral cavity, kidneys, stomach, ovaries, and malignant melanoma. Despite the high incidence of uterine adenocarcinoma, cutaneous metastases are uncommon. The most common presentation of cutaneous metastases is rapidly developing nodules or tumors. The diagnosis of cutaneous metastatic carcinoma hinges on histopathologic evaluation of the involved skin. We discuss and review the diagnosis and management of cutaneous metastasis of uterine adenocarcinoma.

Angiosarcoma is an aggressive neoplasm that predominantly affects elderly patients. Most cases appear on the scalp and face de novo; however, trauma, longstanding lymphedema, and irradiation are predisposing factors. Management includes a multidisciplinary team and may involve a combination of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy tailored to the patient's age and associated comorbidities.
